Upgraded to 1.2.0 on an XAMPP test site. All seems fine so far, but we can no longer edit products or add new ones - the ‘category’ tab when clicked simply shows the spinning “please wait” graphic and you have to close the browser to get back in. Obviously products aren’t being saved or edited.
Normal Category editing (via it’s own menu) works fine, but not from within a product. Shame, as we wanted to test the downloadable product option but cannot assign anything to a category.
If you try to change a product category or options you will see the error
This is a test demo store to test the update.
Update with Magento Connect.
I have make a test clean installation and all is running but i will find the error whaen i want to make the upgrade with magento connect to apply it to my active store.
I guess these ones are the permission you have to set on files to make it working, and to be able to run upgrade agains, as you Magento doesn’t seem to be upgraded completely.
I’ve upgraded Magento from 1.1.8 to 1.2.0.1 using Magento Connect.
Now each time I try to select “categories” in the left menu, while editing or adding a new product, I have the “please wait” message that stay “stuck"… So I’m unable to set /edit categories for products :(
After upgrading from 1.8 to 1.2.1 using Connect Manager update.
Catalog>Manage Categories The left Categories links will not open/dropdown
System>Configuration The left Catalog link… I get the message “A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again.”
755 index.php
644 downloader
755 download/index.php
644 js
755 js/index.php
Does not work on shared hosting for me.... it disables all JavaScript
For best results i used
755 for folders
755 js/index.php
But also tried many other file folder permissions, but still can not get it to work correctly.
I upgraded from 1.1.8 to 1.2.0.1 and categories didn’t work. I checked JS error console and saw some messages there. After checking number of items in /app/design/adminhtml I found out that it is still 482 items, totalling 1.8 MB as in default 1.1.8 installation. Then I checked the same directory in my new 1.2.0.1 system that had 523 items, totalling 2.1 MB.
I figured out that those missing files are the ones causing the problems. I archieved current adminhtml directory for backup purposes, deleted it and copied new files from magento-1.2.0.1.tar.gz (clean installation archive).
If you haven’t made any modifications in adminhtml directory, this should be pretty safe action even on live site.
I solved my problem in reinstalling Magento 1.2.0.1 instead of doing an upgrade.
- save media & personnal template, email & skin
- delete magento directory (in fact I renamed it to be able to roll back)
- keep database (and made a full save in order to be able to roll back )
- full copy of Magento 1.2.0.1 files in a brand new directory
- copy of personnal files & media
- full install (I kept most of my customisation as I didn’t delete the database)
- reinstall your modules via Magento Connect…
